You are not entitled under law to receive any accrued paid time off. The only way you would have a claim would be if your company's policies stated you would receive your accrued time off (usually this is only if you voluntarily resign with proper notice) and/or if the company has paid accrued paid time off to other employees who have been terminated.
Yes, in New Jersey, employers are required to pay out accrued vacation time when an employee is laid off. This payment is considered part of the employee's final wages. However, the specifics can depend on the employer's policies and any applicable collective bargaining agreements.

In Massachusetts, employers are not required by law to provide paid vacation time. However, if an employer does offer vacation time, they must follow their own policies regarding the "use it or lose it" vacation policy. This means that employers can set rules about when vacation time must be used by, and employees may lose any unused vacation time if they do not use it within the specified timeframe. It is important for employees to be aware of their employer's specific policies regarding vacation time to avoid losing any accrued time off.

It's best for employees to check with their specific location or human resources for detailed information.

No, an employer in Florida does not have to pay accrued vacation time when you quit. That is if it in the company policy, it is not mandatory.
This may vary depending on the state you are in -BUT- unless you were terminated while still in a probationary status, you should be able to recover any un-used vacation time - sick time or "personal time, that was accrued but un-used up to the time you were terminated.
The situation is a little complicated. Employers are required to abide by their explicit statements of policy regarding vacation pay. That is, if they say in your employment contract or employee handbook that they will pay out accrued vacation, then they have to. If they don't mention it, then they don't have to. If they have historically done so, you could probably argue that that constitutes established policy, even if it's not actually written down anywhere. But the bottom line is as long as they never do it and never say they will, Oklahoma law does not require them to.
In the United States, the legality of withholding payment for accrued PTO upon termination varies by state. Some states require employers to pay out accrued PTO upon termination, while others do not have such requirements. It is important to consult the specific labor laws in the state where the termination occurred to determine the legality of withholding payment for accrued PTO. Additionally, the company's own policies and employment contracts may also dictate whether accrued PTO must be paid out upon termination.
